Best Actress

And the award goes to... Keira Knightley!

(spoiler alert for the movie Begin Again)

We were watching the movie Begin Again, and in one scene Adam Levine's musician character had just returned from a trip that included recording a new love song. He began to play it for his girlfriend, Keira Knightley's character.

As we listened along with the characters, I was struck by the emotion in Keira's face. Without her character saying a word, and conveyed through her facial expression alone, I said out loud that there was no way that the song was her.

A mere moment later... slap! Right across Adam's character's face.

In a recent scene, we had been introduced to Adam's character's producers and their very attractive female assistant. It turns out that this assistant had also gone on this trip, and Adam's character cheated on his girlfriend with her.

So, as this new love song played, Keira's face showed the realization that her boyfriend was thinking of someone else. We were extremely impressed and, after the movie concluded, this was our first topic of conversation.
